Prior to working for ACE, Cy was the youth educator for the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia.  Known as "Mr. Cy", he taught thousands of elementary school students in Philadelphia how to be safe and have fun while riding their bike around town.  He was raised in Northern NJ and has degrees from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Florida and Ramapo College in NJ.  He has an educational background that covers engineering, human factors, psychology, math, physics, and education, and has been involved in various non-profit organizations and events. 

As a Philadelphia Teaching Fellow, Cy has gained invaluable experience as a high school mathematics teacher at Kensington Creative & Performing Arts High School.  He has had the opportunity to inspire many of his students, and he also created the Breakdance Club, which continues to be a hit.

Cy loves cycling for fun and for his commute, and plans to cycle across the country one day.  His other hobbies include rock climbing, mountaineering, snowboarding, scuba diving, surfing, and playing his guitar.  He is very excited to work for an organization that combines his love for teaching, his passion for the environment, and desire to work in the non-profit sector.
